‘MOST AMAZING story; pledge OF STEPHENSON Lffe Prisoner Promises Expose About Closed Bank at Kokomo. Bit Times Hoccial KOKOMO, Ind., Jan. 5.—A “most amazing story of intrigue’’ will be told by D. C. Stephenson regarding the affairs of the closed American Trust Company Bank here, providing he is given an opportunity to appear before the Howard County grand jury. Stephenson, former head of the Ku-Klux Klan in Indiana, now serving a life term in the State prison for the murder of Miss Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis, promised the expose during a conference at the prison with Homer R. Miller, Howard County prosecutor, and Grover Bishop, receiver of the bank. The prisoner picked out seven or eight checks of a number cashed by the bank which he said were for “graft.” Stephenson told Miller and Bishop that his story would be the most amazing one the prosecutor had ever listened to. Miller announced after the conference that he would investigate on the data Stephenson provided and, if found true, would call the county grand jury and have Stephenson appear as a witness.

Y., Jan. s.—Fire destroyed the century-old Weskora Hotel on the Albany Post road early today with trie probable loss of three lives.

to be a degree prettier, Billie is wishing that she weren’t quite as pretty. She won’t admit it though—because she won’t admit that she’s moviana’s “queen of beauty.” “I would rather be like the girls who write me letters than the sort of person they seem to think I am,” declares the actress with considerable sincerity. “I want to be a human, happy sort of person who really enjoys life—not a girl who people think should do nothing all of the time.” Billie is now letting her hair grow, hoping almost against hope that with long tresses she will be given a different type of picture to make. She is tired of always bein| the sweet, beautiful maiden who never does wrong and never gets mussed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RAPS HIGH FEES PAID LAWYERS BY UTILITIES Commissioner Cuts Phone Attorneys’ Pay; Says Consumer Pays. Slashing fees for attorneys in the Liberty Telephone Utilities Company rate ease $2,000, Public Service Commissioner Mclntosh today assailed the custom 'bf utilities to pay their attorneys exorbitant fees which must be borne by the consumer. A strict check will be kept upon the amortized expenses of all utilities, so that payments set for a definite period may not be dragged on into infinity, Mclntosh declared. Chairman Ec T. Singleton concurred, announcing that a record book would be kept of amortized cases and maturing securities so that besides the annual statements issued by utilities the commission always would have a definite record of when amortizations expired. People Have to Pay “It is the people who must bear the exorbitant fees paid by the utilities to their attorneys in rate fixing cases and deplorable as the situation is. the commission shall do everything possible to hold these fees as low as possible. Fees for attorneys and other expenses in the Liberty case which was reversed against the commission by Federal Judge Baltzell were placed at $4,109.83, which the judge declared should be amortized over a period of four years. This system of pro-rating legal fees and incidental expenses 'is used in all rate cases, but according to Mclntosh it will be necessary to safeguard against any utility continually marking down the annua! payment even after maturity, as a pretext to hide profits in entries of “operating expenses.” Rehearing Is Denied The Liberty company was purchased in January, 1927, by E. L. Cline at a valuation fixed by Commissioner Ells of SIIO,OOO. This valuation, Ellis said, “could not be /Used as a rate-making basis."’ When the company petitioned for an increase of telephone rates on May 24, 1927, Mclntosh, after investigation, declared that the rates should be figured on a valuation of $90,000, and fixed them accordingly. Cline was denied a rehearing and

appealed to the Federal Court, where the commission's new valuation was reversed and it was ordered to fix rates on not less than the $114,000 basis. The court also ordered that the legal expenses of more than $4,000 be prorated over a period of four years, and when the telephone company presented its legal expense statement, Mclntosh demurred, saying that the fees of $1,500 to the firm of Fesler, Elam & Young and the same to Judge Springer of Connersville were exorbitant. He also disapproved a fee of S3OO for Chester Roberts, Liberty attorney. Following several conferences with Cline, the latter agreed to slash $2,000.
